A SPECIAL COMEDY EVENT WITH MAYSOON
7:30 pm
Friday, May 20th, 2006

Opening with Music and Refreshments

Meet Maysoon Zayid, who makes hay out of being what some think is a living, breathing oxymoron: an Arab American comedian. So much for the stereotype of the silent, pliant Muslim woman.

"By introducing Maysoon to the Bay Area community, we are not only breaking a stereotype but also introducing humor to a very tense political situation," stated the organizers.

First Unitarian Universalist Church
1187 Franklin Street, San Francisco
$10-25 sliding scale

A benefit supporting Arab working families in the Bay Area and the promotion of art and cultural events.

Labor Night at Made in Palestine:
An Evening of Art, Music and Solidarity

Made in Palestine is the first U.S. museum exhibition of the contemporary art of Palestine. It is a survey of Palestinian artists of the West Bank, Gaza, Israel and the diaspora.

Labor Night is a reception for the Labor community of the Bay Area. Working families in Palestine face many of the same problems that we do in the U.S.: union busting, lack of health care, low wages and unemployment. We hope that Labor Night will help to link our two struggles, and give our local community a glimpse of the triumphs and tragedies of life in Palestine.

Labor Night sponsored by the Justice in Palestine Coalition Labor Committee and the Arab American Union Members Council.
